Let the bidding begin I'll see your $8,000 and I'm in for $500.00 pay
to remove plus travel expenses [round trip, AZ to AR towing a trailer both
directions]. I only have 17 restoration cars in the queue and I "really
need another one" with the scarcity of parts for this one, I could put
it at the end of the queue and "maybe find most of what is needed by the
time it gets on deck". Now, where did I put those OCD meds???

[MBZ] The agony of 722.9 defeat on $900E500 (now about $1400)

2021-11-11 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes
I tried to have a go at flushing out the transmission with my homemade pressure 
tool. Turned down my compressor and of course the regulator failed and was 
blowing out all the air when turned down less than full pressure. Bah. The air 
gun actually doesn’t send out much pressure so I just filled the compressor 
part way to maybe 50psi and tried it.

There is an opening right next to the filter neck hole that the air was coming 
out of. So my thumb plugged that hole up and air was going on but nothing was 
coming out. I did it for awhile and quit, maybe I need to do it longer. 

Maybe that fancy tool has a plug for that hole so you can leave it on there for 
awhile, and the built-in regulator would deal with high-pressure air. I’ll have 
to look at it again. 

So in that vid the guy mentioned the torque converter had a drain plug. OK I’ll 
do it that way. I turned the crank bolt all around, getting under and up about 
20 times. Got my exercise today. No drain plug. So after that dumbass me 
thought hey I should just go look at the one I pulled from the donor. So I did 
that and of course there’s no drain plug…

So anyway I’ll disconnect the cooler lines and blow some air through them and 
drain the cooler and call it good. Then get the new conductor plate/TCM and 
valve body back in and see what it does. The kid sent some instructions to use 
the majick computer to reset some settings in it so will have to see about that 
too. 

Fun times!
